Every midnight, God refills our gift card with 1,440 minutes. We choose how to spend them, but once we spend them, they're gone. We'll never get another chance to spend the same day twice. May God help us to spend our days wisely: to glorify Him and make disciples for Him. Enjoy this episode to hear that story.

Ever since I was a kid, I've wanted a pair of Jordans. I finally got a pair of Jordans. I wore my pair of Jordans to the gym where I was going to impress my friends and then dunk on them. When I showed up and they noticed my Js, I wasn't ready for their response. Enjoy this episode to hear that story.

Last week the lovely Andrea and I celebrated our twenty-sixth wedding anniversary. We looked back over more than a quarter of a century together to the day we vowed to love, honor, and cherish each other. God has been good even when life was not. He loves us, and we love Him, and that's the reason to say yes to holiness and no to wickedness.

The not-nomadic-for-long nation of Israel was about to cross over the Jordan River and into the Promised Land. They would be surrounded by neighboring nations who worshiped every god under the sun, and to check all the boxes, some even worshiped the sun. They needed something never changing, never failing to hold on to. That is why God gave them the Book of Leviticus. 

Parental notice: Because Leviticus 18 is God's plan for sexual relationships—to bond a husband and wife in covenant relationship—the nature of this episode may be too mature for younger audiences.

This day felt different from all the other days that year. It was the day one man would press past the veil that separated the holy God of Heaven from sinful humanity, and he would walk into the presence of God. Everything hinged on that day. It was the tenth day of the seventh month: It was called the Day of Atonement.

Life was so much better just five years ago. He was a husband, a father, a farmer. He had farmed the fields his father, grandfather, and great grandfather had farmed. He knew one day he would pass these sacred acres down to his son, and he trusted he would pass them down to his son one day. His mind replayed that fateful day when he noticed something strange on his arm. He told his wife about it. Maybe it was just a bug bite. It would go away. No need to be alarmed.

You can learn a lot from a license plate. In Ohio you can learn what county someone lives in, their birthday, even more from a personalized plate. But Steve Jobs didn't share my enthusiasm for that metal, rectangular storyteller on the back of a car, so he found a loophole in the law to keep him from having to fasten a license plate. But as we will hear, some responsibilities have no loophole. We can't outsource or delegate our devotion. We must bring God ourselves . . . ourselves. Enjoy this episode to hear that story. 

Interest is a great idea for making money but not a great idea for making credit card payments. But interest was God's idea because according to Leviticus 5, anyone who sinned unintentionally had to restore what they had taken, plus interest. God often restores much more than we lost. 

For nearly half a day, I had taken the wrong highway on our honeymoon. It took twenty-seven hours to drive eight. It is possible to think you are completely right and be completely wrong about being right. That's also possible in our walk with God. Enjoy this episode to hear the story.

Something feathered or furry got stuck in our chimney—again. The lovely Andrea and I reached in and tried to wrap our hands around it to help it, but it thought we were trying to hurt it. It cried. It fled. All our pulling and wrapping and reaching was trying to set it free. If only it could have known our hearts.
